Lightbulb NORAD Tracks Santa with Google Right Now! Discuss it Here

Russian ICBM’s aren’t the only thing the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will be tracking this Christmas, and Google (which is everywhere, and knows everything) is giving them a hand. The annual NORAD Tracks Santa page is back, and this year it comes with some extra Google goodies.
For good boys there’s a YouTube Channel, that doesn’t care if you’re naughty or nice…as long as the content isn’t subject to a copyright claim.
For good girls there a Google Earth mashup, with cool 3D imagery that blows Barbie Online away.
For users of Seemic and other such toys, there’s santa cams as well; How many responses it will get, only time will tell… but I bet it’s not as many as Loren.

Mmmm.
I can't see the embedded video in the post, or even in the "Topic Review" section at the bottom of the "post reply" page.
All I see is this:
Code:
[YOU TUBE]<object width="425" height="373"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BfvGU4W0bvM&rel=1&border=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BfvGU4W0bvM&rel=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="373"></embed></object>[/YOU TUBE]
(Without spaces in the bbcode - for some reason vbulletin parses bbcode within "code" tags. )

However, when I then preview that reply, I can then see the original post with the embedded video working properly at the bottom under "Topic Review". In fact, when I previewed the post, I saw the video embedded inside the "code" box (hence why I added spaces to [YOUTUBE]).

There seems to be some inconsistencies between the "Preview" parsing and what actually happens when a post is made.
